Subject:      VW Canada 2.1 Reman Engine
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1

Hi All,

I'm just starting a rebuild of a 2.1L engine that was given to me from
an 86 Westy with 134k miles on the odometer. I found a yellow VW
Canada label With engine code MV and serial #000151. Does anyone know
what the Canadian reman process includes? Do they split the case and
replace the main and rod bearings, or do they just fix the failure
mode i.e. reseal the heads if that's the reported problem.

Any info on the VWoC reman engines would be greatly appreciated..
